Working in Heysham
We cover every part of Heysham, including LA3 and LA4, and nearby Morecambe (2.1 miles) and Lancaster (3.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heysham: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Heysham water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. For Heysham homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be building regulations work under Part H, and a macerator or pumped WC is acceptable only where there is also a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere in the home.
